Nelson's name is not listed on the Blue Earth County Sheriff's jail roster, but reports are he was charged with first- and third-degree assault stemming from allegations that he kicked Isaac Kolstad, a former linebacker at Minnesota State-Mankato, in the head while he was lying on the ground after being struck by another man.

Via a CaringBridge.org site setup for Kolstad: "He is currently in Critical condition and fighting for his life. He is young and strong, but the battle he has in front of him is enormous. We do not yet know the full extent of his injuries. He is very sick. Please pray for Isaac and all of those involved.The Kolstad's"

"The Rutgers football family's thoughts and prayers are with Isaac Kolstad and his family," said Rutgers football coach Kyle Flood in a release.
